The AI doesn't sub. It sucks, I hate it, but I haven't figured out a smart way to set a sub routine for the AI.

There's no fouling out yet, as I noted on the other board.

Endurance most definately plays a role. I'm considering making it an even bigger role. The way fatigue works is pretty straightforward. Your player's attributes naturally decline over the course of the game (while they are in). Having a high endurance slows this dows. Endurance also helps with a few other things during the game. Those teams who aren't subbing are basically fielding utter trash by the later stages of the game. A team rotating in fresh players will have a major advantage every time.

Is there anything in the log to give us an indication of how fatigued a player is? Right now we have an arbitrary "rating" for endurance without any real way to gauge it. Most of the other numbers we can read from stats, but I don't know that there's a good way to tell how fatigued a player is and be able to gauge endurance against that as well as when to sub those players out.

I considered last night putting in something in the PBP to mark endurance, and I still am, actually. What I'm worried about is having a shit-ton of spam in the PBP log yapping about endurance. So it's gonna require some thought.

The Fighting Creeks had a very nice opener at the Wigwam. Red Mountain State beat up on Neon Chaos' De La Salle U. 79-44. Plus I got a positive and a very positive response on my two scholie offers. (One of my lower recruited guys also was very positive.)

I have a couple of very positive and one highly positive. Although I think the highly positive one for sure was someone I just went after because the desires match, and he's not the greatest prospect.

Coffee Warlord · 10-22-2007, 10:48 AM

Okay, I added a little blurb describing how tired someone is when they are subbed out. You'll see this in Wednesday's games.

Note: A guy with shitty endurance to begin with, no matter how little you play him, is going to always look pretty gassed after he's been on the floor.

Anthony · 10-22-2007, 10:51 AM

any way to list which training programs affect which ratings? some are obvious, others aren't.

Coffee Warlord · 10-22-2007, 10:52 AM

RTFM.

It's under "team" section in the help.

unfavorable
no opinion
barely interested
somewhat interested
very interested
positive
very positive
highly positive
favorable
very favorable
highly favorable
worshipful

Thanks, that helps a lot.

Passacaglia · 10-22-2007, 11:23 AM

oh crap recruiting was last night? whoops

vex · 10-22-2007, 11:24 AM

A couple of things.

First can you change the league games representation to (C)? Or are you using that for championship games?

Also, how about some all-conference stats, instead of just league wide?

I'd like that too. To separate the computer's non-subbing stats with ours.

vex · 10-22-2007, 11:30 AM

Also, can you put the info we get from recruiting on the player pages so that we don't have to go back to the inbox for every recruit?

vex · 10-22-2007, 11:33 AM

On the season schedule, can you put the teams records beside the team?

vex · 10-22-2007, 11:42 AM

This recruit was ecstatic about our school from the moment we spoke. He is very interested, and we have a very good chance for him to accept our scholarship offer.

-----------

What you like to see when 5 other schools have scholarships out to the guy

You better not be going after my guy, wanker.

vex · 10-22-2007, 11:49 AM

A Mr. Dexter?

Coffee Warlord · 10-22-2007, 11:51 AM

Stay the fuck away from Dexter.

MikeVic · 10-22-2007, 11:54 AM

You mother fucker. Stay away from him if you know what's good for you.

edit:

vex · 10-22-2007, 11:56 AM

Just curious, since his primary desire is superstar, did you all get the same message?

MikeVic · 10-22-2007, 11:56 AM

I saw Primary Superstar as his desire.

edit: but I got a different response. A lesser one than you. It said something like he's very interested... and we believe we're not wasting a scholarship on him. Your's makes it seem like a sure thing for you.

'This recruit seemed very interested in playing for us. We believe our scholarship offer is not wasted.'

vex · 10-22-2007, 11:58 AM

I'm upset that Michael Jang isn't interested though

--------

This recruit did not seem very interested in our school. Perhaps our scholarships would be better spent elsewhere.

MikeVic · 10-22-2007, 11:59 AM

I didn't have one for him.

rjolley · 10-22-2007, 12:15 PM

Does a scholarship offer increase a player's interest as well as the level of intensity?

rjolley · 10-22-2007, 02:22 PM

How are free throws rated currently? Are they connected to Aggression right now, or is it tied to something else?

Coffee Warlord · 10-22-2007, 02:23 PM

Nothing is tied to a single stat.

That said, without looking, I'm pretty sure Mental is one of the more important stats for free throw shooting.

vex · 10-22-2007, 02:24 PM

Yeah, help file says Mental.

rjolley · 10-22-2007, 02:29 PM

I'm actually in very good shape. 3 of my heavily recruited guys are very interested, as well as several of my lower guys.

wade moore · 10-22-2007, 10:28 PM

Of course, it could mean I'm not evaluating guys that well and they might not be that good

k0ruptr · 10-22-2007, 10:29 PM

well, I have some very interested. but not many

Coffee Warlord · 10-22-2007, 10:39 PM

Just repeat after me and all will be well.

"I will stay away from Dexter."

"

vex · 10-23-2007, 12:18 AM

CW, I don't seem to be able to get rid of this guy from my "Your Recruits" screen:

PF - Kevin Domingue (offer scholarship)

He is 18 years old, 6'8" tall, weighing 195 pounds

A high school senior, out of Austin, TX

High school cumulative GPA of 3.10

Primary Desire: Local School

Current Opinion: no opinion

1 schools are currently visiting this player, with 0 scholarship offers.

Aggression:	weak / exceptional
Awareness:	decent / potent
Control:	questionable / potent
Endurance:	negligible / acceptable

Mental:	weak / formidable
Physical:	weak / incredible
Speed:	questionable / decent
Strength:	weak / strong

vex · 10-23-2007, 12:20 AM

Are recruits GPAs static?

vex · 10-23-2007, 12:23 AM

And do recruits mind if you're recruiting another player at the position as them?

Coffee Warlord · 10-23-2007, 08:42 AM

Fixed. Unexpected side effect of a little tweak I made last night.

And to answer your questions....

Yes, and No.
